Hi Rebeca
I had the same problem and was associated with 2 things: an error in the structure (the terminal residues) and a wrong dimension of Periodic Boundary Conditions. Maybe yo wish to inspect these aspect and try again.

Hi Rebeca,
without knowing any details of your system and simulation parameters,
it looks like your structure has some clashes. Maybe you wish to
inspect your system for
atoms being too close to each other.
As the piece of the output you posted shows, the large number is
showing you the
van der Waals energy. But also the bond and the electrostatic
energies don't look good.
If the minimization proceeds, monitor the corresponding energies and
check the structure
after the minimization to take care that all the clashes are resolved
without introducing
odd conformations.
